[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 502220, member: 6546"] Ain't that the truth? Part of my problem is that I am not very quick on my feet. I often need a moment to think before responding...and when I am being attacked, I get very flustered...and that seems to lead the "attacker" to think that have have achieved something. "A-HA!" "Gotcha!" "You have nothing to say!" I know that I tried to do the very best that I could each and every time for my difficult child... but to have a "professional" explain that my past decisions have 'created' a difficult child by [I]teaching[/I] her to be manipulative....by [I]teaching[/I] her that school is not important...by [I]teaching[/I] her that she can escalate at any time to get what she wants...?? It's devastating to hear such a thing....and then I have no come-back - no response - no explanation. It's bad enough then guilt we feel wondering whether we are doing the right thing for our children - but now I am supposed to accept the blame for "creating" a difficult child??? Thank goodness for this board! Without the sanity you bring to my world ? I don't know WHAT I would have done tonight... Thank you all for being here! [/QUOTE]
